Story

The photographs show interiors of slum huts in Bangladesh‘s capital Dhaka. Here, about 4 million people live in 5,000 informal settlements. The growing number of slums in developing countries is a global problem, the precise location therefore not so important. The work is rather an example for the living conditions of over one billion people worldwide.
The man in his social conditions is the focus of my work. Just as well as an
associated aesthetic. The work is situated in a field of tension between being fascinated by the magic of the world of things and empathy for the individual.
In addition, the photographs tell of man‘s striving to create his home as comfortable as possible, even under such extreme conditions.
